When asked by Variety about his dream casting during Thursday night’s “Fast X” trailer premiere, the actor, who’s starred as protagonist Dom Toretto since the firm film premiered back in 2001, blurted out Downey Jr.’s name without hesitation.
“Without telling too much about what happens in the future,” Diesel revealed a character that Downey Jr. could potentially play in the eleventh and final film, after the May premiere of “Fast X”.
“There’s a character who is the antithesis of Dom who is promoting AI and driverless cars and a philosophy that with that goes your freedom,” Diesel shared. “There is somebody that believes that’s the future, and that’s at direct odds with the Toretto mentality.”
